VP, Marketing Creative & Operations
Location: Remote (U.S.)

We're partnering with a well-known, mission-driven education company to find a Vice President of Marketing Creative & Operations. This executive will lead a large, established marketing organization while helping transform creative from a production function into a strategic business driver.

This is not a traditional Creative Director or Creative Operations leadership role.

We're looking for a marketing executive first—someone who has built their career in brand management, integrated marketing, or marketing strategy, and has also led creative, brand, content, and creative operations teams as part of a broader marketing leadership scope.

You'll partner closely with executive leadership to connect creative strategy with business priorities, marketing channels, customer experience, and measurable business outcomes.

What You'll Do
  • Lead an established organization spanning Brand, Creative, Content Strategy, and Creative Operations.
  • Develop the long-term vision for how creative supports business growth, customer acquisition, engagement, and brand differentiation.
  • Partner with executive leadership to shape enterprise marketing strategy and elevate creative as a strategic business function.
  • Connect brand strategy with integrated marketing across digital, lifecycle, paid media, web, field marketing, and communications.
  • Guide senior leaders responsible for creative, content, brand, and operations while building alignment across the broader marketing organization.
  • Lead organizational transformation, operating model improvements, workflow optimization, and AI-enabled marketing initiatives.
  • Drive cross-functional collaboration across Marketing, Product, Analytics, Technology, Communications, Finance, and executive stakeholders.
  • Establish measurement frameworks that connect creative effectiveness to marketing and business performance.
  • Oversee agency relationships, budgets, organizational planning, and operational excellence.

What We're Looking For
  • Executive-level marketing leadership experience within a large, complex, highly matrixed organization.
  • Career progression rooted in brand marketing, integrated marketing, or marketing strategy—not solely creative production or creative operations.
  • Experience leading creative organizations while maintaining responsibility for broader marketing strategy and business outcomes.
  • Strong executive presence with experience influencing senior leadership and presenting strategic recommendations.
  • Demonstrated success leading organizational transformation, operating model design, and cross-functional change initiatives.
  • Experience partnering across multiple business functions and influencing without direct authority.
  • Proven ability to balance brand building with performance, customer experience, and commercial objectives.
  • Experience leading sizeable teams through senior managers/directors in complex organizations.
  • Comfort leveraging AI and modern marketing technology to improve team effectiveness and scalability.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a marketing executive who enjoys building high-performing organizations, influencing at the executive level, and shaping how creative and marketing work together to drive business growth.
